i have this book that I cannot find anywhere. There is thousands of later copies but not one of the one I have...... I have been looking for another copy on and off for lotsa years and still nothing, It’s called Organic chemistry the fatty compounds by whiteley and published by longmans, the year it’s published is 1895 Does anyone have an idea ??

It does appear to be scarce. But, in my experience, that does not equate with value in the case of old chemistry texts. The author does not seem to have great importance either. He does not merit a wikipedia page, and I found reference to only one other book authored by him (Chemical Calculations with Explanatory notes, Problems, and Answers, 1913). The information in the book is now readily available in the modern reprints for those few who might be interested, and it is unlikely that there is any "collectible" value in an original edition.
Thankyou! It’s one of those it been bugging me for an age !! You’d expect to see at least one other copy somewhere!! Maybe it was so rubbish everyone threw them away lol.... Thankyou for spending the time to look at it for me I appreciate your efforts x
